A couple of questions...
where can i find a good "upload file php script" available for use, and what does CHMOD 777 mean and how do i make this happen?
What i need is an admin access page where admin people can log onto the website, upload newsletters (so .doc or .txt documents) but must have the username and password to do so, and then for other public users to be able to come along and download these newsletters that have been uploaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

1) hotscripts.com has 1
2) Chmod 777 lets folders or files to be read and written to.
Thankyou ... good website
How do i make CHMOD 777 work though?
How do i set it up? is it in the upload? or through the isp? or what?
confused....
tah.
(im using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for upload to the site by the way).
i take it you can ftp into your webspace?
Depending on your FTP client(ws_ftp pro/le, cuteftp, and one I recommend, FlashFXP)
you can right click on the file and chmod it to 777, basically this allows anything to read/write to your data(loosely speaking)
you can do this in dos ftp as well...
I would go download flash, it's a free trial and well worth the 25 dollar reg if you like it...
I don't use Dreamweaver MX yet, but I've used Dreamweaver for years. I have not had much luck with their FTP program - maybe it's better in MX. For any file permissions changes, I use either Fetch for Mac, or CuteFTP/WSFTP for Windows.
Usually with both, you can right-click (shift-click for Macs) in the Remote directory, and you should have an option in the menu that pops up to change permission. Or select the remote file in your FTP client, then somewhere up top in the menus you can find something that allows you to change permissions.
how bizarre!
you would think that a program by macromedia, which incidentally is not cheap, would have such an option...
however, it seems it doesnt.
I have been told it is possible to enter into the ftp log (Window > Results > FTP log) something like site chmod 777 the/folder/you/want but Dreamweaver said it was an invalid command ....
I'm pretty sure almost any ftp program has chmod option.
But PHP has a chmod function for your convenience. www.php.net/chmod
